Comments

Today's ride is planned on the interstate. In the end it will depend on the quality of the road. It would be very easy to transition off the interstate and get a bit closer to the seashore. But in the end, I think it would be best to make the ride up to Bath, get a room and then do a couple hours exploring some of the nooks and crannies.
